hi all
my computer keeps freezing. The hard drive led stays fully lit and the power light goes off but the fan still spins.
I have to hold the power button in to reboot and then it asks if i want to go into safe mode.

I have had win 7 for a good 2 months and ive only noticed it the past week .

please help

Possibly video driver?
Try downloading the latest driver for your video card then remove the old one in Device manager then load the new one.

Probably not but:
I had a problem were avg Resident shield would use 100% of the cpu time and and the hard drive activity would go sky high.

Perhaps:
1. Does this happen when in safe-mode?, if so check your drivers in device manager.

2. Have you changed any power settings or any Bios Settings?

3. You could try a system restore OR repair from the Win7 disc.

ive had these problems for about a week.

yes and no it happens any time really but mainly just after boot.

yes i installed a new anti malware program recently.

yes i do windows update everyday.

yes i have changed the power setting so the hard drive never turns off when left idle.

hi

the anti malware program i used was malwarebytes!

i am currently running my pc in safe mode and i will check it when i get home at 12:30.

the program i have been using is glary utilities.

I know how to get to event log but i dont know how to check for errors can you tell me how?

i ran disk check a couple of days ago and there was no error but i will run again to be sure.

Links to event viewer and several ways to identify problems are in my tagline.
